The difficulty of sighting rifles in the
dark in warfare has been ingeniously
overcome by the use of luminous paint.
A small luminous bead is clipped on to
the rifle over the fore sight and another
over the rear sight when used at night in
reply to an enemy's fire, forming two
luminous sights. The English war office
authorities have had some of these sights
under trial for the past six months, and
have now given their first order for
some.-New York Sun.

saw ten-ton crucible steel casting being
poured, and an enormous seventy-ton

until the inside has partly solidified, when
the block is hammered into shape to form
the main piece of an immense gun. The

crucibles are heated and the perfect man.

men-in some cases as many as social

One of the best equestrian statues in WASH
ington is that of Gen Logans comrade Nc
Pherson, whom he succeeded temporarily in
July, 1864, when Mcpherson was killed at
Atlanta. 1t is lifelike counterpart of Gen
Mcpherson, and in pose, action and express
sion is above criticism. This statue stands in
Mcpherson square where Vermont avenue in
tersects | ana X streets. Looking out on this
square are some notable houses. among them
the Hamilton Fish mansion, Chamberlain club
house, and Senator Palmers new house, with
its massive brown stone front and kitchen on
the top floor The statue is of bronze and
was designed by Louis 7. Robisso, of Cincin-
natl, in 1873. Robert Wood q Co., of Phila-
delphia, cast it, as they have most of the
bronze figures in Washington. among them
those of Gen Scott. Ger Rawlins and Gen

yelled in 1876 Gen. Logan was the orator of
the day, and his feeling tribute to his old
comrade is one of the best speeches of his

while the pedestal, which is of New England
granite. cost 1000 The Socictv of the
Army of the Tennessee erected both statue
and pedestal II was at first proposed to
place the remains of Gen. No Emerson be-
meath the statue but his family objected and
he was permitted to lie in the soil of his
native state. 1t is serious drawback to the
enjoyment of this work of art that it
stands in small park containing about
an acre of land and is densely surrounded by
large trees. 1t has not the prominence which
the Falragut or Dupont statues have in their
parks, nor that which the Scott and Thomas
